Location: Ankeny, Iowa

About Kyadta

Kyadta Building Supplies is a growing, family-owned distributor serving multi-family, commercial, and residential construction projects. We source high-quality products -- from cabinets, flooring, trim, and lighting to plumbing fixtures and quartz countertops -- partnering with trusted builders, designers, and developers to bring their projects from Blueprint to Build.

We're detail-driven, relationship-focused, and passionate about delivering quality on a budget. As we grow, we're looking for a reliable and proactive Operations & Purchasing Coordinator to help with day-to-day operations, purchasing, logistics, and vendor coordination.

Position Overview

The Operations & Purchasing Coordinator supports the company across all phases of supply chain and project execution -- from quoting and ordering materials to tracking freight and ensuring accurate invoicing. This role bridges the gap between purchasing, accounting, and project delivery, ensuring that our systems, data, and communications stay organized and on time.

This is a hands-on, detail-oriented position with room to grow into a leadership role as the company expands.

Help maintain product lists, SKUs, and pricing updates.

Support invoice matching and reconciliation between POs, vendor bills, and customer invoices.

Track tariffs, freight costs, and allocate overhead to product categories accurately.

Assist with builder communications and submittals.

Provide general office and operations support to keep the flow between purchasing, accounting, and project management seamless.
